Enhancing Winona State's NMR Capabilities by Making Available More Nuclei
Presenter(s)
Nora Cowell, Hà Nguyễn
Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is a powerful analytical tool for structural elucidation and isotope specific analysis in chemistry and related fields. Winona State University recently acquired a new NMR instrument equipped for common nuclei such as 1H,13C,19F, and 31P. In order to expand usefulness of this instrument beyond the most conventional applications, we are enabling direct detection of a broader range of nuclei, including 6Li,11B, 27Al, 51V, 55Mn, and 59Co. This work involves identifying appropriate reference standards, determining resonance frequencies, establishing chemical shift ranges, and optimizing pulse parameters for each nucleus. These enhanced capabilities will support greater research possibilities on campus, strengthen collaborations, and potentially foster industrial partnerships.
